Thank you so much. I've read through tons of forums, read solutions from users and employees of Dell about various nonsense that could possibly help. The issue is obviously(!) the Turbo Boost tech and shows that it wasn't tested properly. My laptop started overheating and draining during during my work tasks and once I've switchd Turbo Boost off in BIOS, the fans basically stopped being audible, temp went down and it's working perfectly fine now as it should. When I find the time, I'll destroy those forums and will spread this video as much as I can. Great job!

@@zackplauche I have a better solution, you're better off customizing your battery setting in Windows to Battery Saver, then change the monitor off and sleep times. Setting to Battery Saver also disables Turbo, but it gives you the ability to easily turn Turbo back on, without having to go into BIOS to turn it back on. Disabling Turbo reduces your performance by 1/2, so it would be better to have a way to re-enable it when needed, whiteout booting into BIOS.

You just crippled a great Laptop to half its power, by turning off its Turbo Boost. This is not the right way to reduce heat. Instead, use the program "ThrottleStop" to limit the TPL-Wattage, giving your CPU still room to breathe. "Undervolting" would be even better, but your BIOS probably doesn´t support that. Just go down to 25W or 30W at PL1 and PL2 in ThrottleStop (XPS9710).

@@salehin85 The answer is likely no. Turbo boost gives a boost when needed; visualize it as strong pushes in power to get over a bump. Turning it off means that it can no longer provide any explosive work. With it off the laptop would just settle with more consistent work over longer periods of time to do whatever it is doing rather than hitting heavy in shorter bursts. In either case, the laptop does the same amount of work, it would likely be warm regardless of choice. The turbo just happens to be more convenient for hiccups and time. The solution would be to say decrease the amount of work the laptop does in totality, or increase the efficiency at which it works.

That's how the computer is supposed to work. Unless you have an absolutely stunning cooling solution (spoiler alert, none of the XPS models do), the CPU is designed to go as fast and as hot as it can.

So I'm not a super big computer expert (I'm a developer that just happen to have this problem and resolve it). From my understanding, this setting just makes it to where when it is plugged in, the power isn't cycling through your battery, and your computer is receiving it's power ONLY through the charger. It still charges, and performs the same when it's not plugged in. I've had this for more than a year now and it works perfectly fine.

Not sure this advice is good for everyone. And you are not making it clear to the user they are trading performance for lower temps. The other way to address this is to keep performance and find a way to improve cooling... or to setup modes that are difference when using as a workstation plugged in vs a mobile unit on battery. Not everyone will want to give up performance. One could use liquid metal for better heat transfer on the CPU and GPU... add additional thermal pads to the MOSFET so they touch the case and it is used as a head sink and can add a cooling pad to blow more cool air in the right places... or have the fan pull the hot air away.
